Computers vs Paper
Being a person that spends most of his time on the computer, one would assume that I also organize my complete life on my computer. Everything from personal finances down to daily notes and thoughts.
For the most part - this is true. I do all my banking and payments online, organize various reports via QuickBooks, keep all client information in extremely organized files. My emails are all organized (discussed before) and my Calendar and daily task are done via iCal.
But every once in awhile I get bored with the computer and all of its bells and whistle. At those times, I’ll dust off my notepad and begin organizing information through my pen and onto paper. It’s oddly a great feeling and makes you feel like a real person with an actual life.
I can see how keeping things on a computer is better and in many cases, quicker - however, you can’t replace the old fashion feeling of lined paper.
So this past week I’ve been organizing my life via a notepad and using my computer for backup. The only thing I’ve noticed is how quickly my hand gets tired. I also realized that I can type rather fast and having to write takes me time (which isn’t an all bad thing).

I recently made an airplane out of my Dell 5100. Soon after leaving my hand on its maiden flight it crashed all over the floor.
